Books by Maxine Kumin

"Kumin writes ... with the clear gaze of a journalist and the ire of an activist.... Filled with love."-Christian Science Monitor

"Kumin's is a poetry of wide sympathy and tact in which the ecumenical flavor is dominant. . . . This collection is full of generational severance and renewal, and a tart and compassionate irony."-The New Yorker

"Measured but warm, this work draws you in; it is another success among her many titles."--Library Journal

"The power that Kumin draws from and brings to literature is potent and seemingly inexhaustible."-Booklist

Gathered from nine collections representing three decades of work, these poems-newly available here in a rich and varied volume-celebrate the growth of a major artist.

This luminous collection is Maxine Kumin's twelfth volume of poetry, the first since her remarkable memoir, Inside the Halo.
